Miguel Sano is among the highest-rated minor league baseball prospects in the nation. His path to the big leagues, though, apparently became a little bumpy after a leisurely 29-second home run stroll around the bases.

Sano, a third baseman for the New Britain Rock Cats, an affiliate of the Minnesota Twins, has not played since hitting his 26th home run of the season on Wednesday.

"We have discipline for all sorts of things that we do. This is one of them. He's not going to play for a few games."

If Sano were in the major leagues, his 29-second wandering of the basepaths would rank among the 10 slowest of the season, according to Wezen-Ball.com’s Tater Trot Tracker. Eight of the 10 slowest home run trots for 2013 have been recorded by David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox.
